How to order a DVG scorebook

2) E-mail (fastest, cheapest and preferred) or snail mail the application to Germany

3) Pay for your book

Step 1. Fill out the application

Germany needs you to fill out the form electronically, because hand written forms are subject to more errors and are difficult for DVG Germany to interpret. Save the form to your computer before filling it out.Go to the form.

Once the form is filled out, save it again. Print out a copy and have your club president or other scorebook representative review the information to ensure the form is filled out correctly. By signing, the president affirms that all the information on the form is correct.

Sign and date the form.

Step 2. Send in the application

By e-mail: Scan the completely filled in form and save it.

Alternately, you can take a picture of your application with your phone. Make sure it’s a clear picture of the entire form.

Step 3. Pay for your application

Use this button to pay electronically. Paypal accepts all major credit and debit cards and you do not have to have a Paypal account to use their service.

If you would rather send a check, mail the check and a copy of the application to the current DVG America Treasurer. You can find the name and contact information on http://www.dvg-america.com/contacts.html

Except around holidays, it generally takes 2-3 weeks to get a scorebook, but you would be wise to allow at least 4.

What is DVG?

DVG stands for Deutscher Verband der Gebrauchshundsportvereine, or the German Association of Working Dog Sport Clubs. DVG is the oldest Schutzhund training organization in the world. DVG was formed officially in 1947, but its roots go back to Germany’s first police and service dog associations formed in the early 1900s. DVG has over 30,000 members, with about 2000 of them participating in Schutzhund.
